Plotting Linear Equations (Straight line graphs)

Plotting Linear Equations lesson, providing a sound introduction to the topic using an engaging starter activity, (spot the mistake) that re-inforces the importance of labelling the axis on a graph correctly. The lesson then moves onto the concept of substituting values into an equation. Then students are invited to explore the properties of a straight line equation.

The method is introduced and students are then given the opportunity to practise plotting linear equations using the differentiated activity sheets (answers provided on the PowerPoint for self/peer marking). - AfL
